What Is a Labuan Bajo Liveaboard?
A Labuan Bajo liveaboard is a multi-day sailing experience through Komodo National Park, where you sleep, eat, and explore aboard a traditional Indonesian phinisi vessel or a modern luxury yacht. Unlike rushed day trips from Labuan Bajo harbor, a liveaboard lets you wake up anchored at remote islands, dive pristine reefs at dawn, and watch the sunset over Padar Island without sharing the moment with crowds.
Labuan Bajo, located on the western tip of Flores Island in East Nusa Tenggara, serves as the gateway to Komodo National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site home to the legendary Komodo dragons, world-class dive sites like Batu Bolong and Crystal Rock, and some of the most biodiverse marine ecosystems on the planet. The waters here host over 1,000 species of fish, 260 species of reef-building coral, and frequent visits from oceanic manta rays.
Whether you are a seasoned diver seeking encounters with manta rays at Manta Point, a family looking for a private island-hopping adventure, or a couple celebrating a honeymoon in paradise, a liveaboard from Labuan Bajo offers the most immersive and luxurious way to experience everything Komodo has to offer. Our fleet ranges from authentic wooden phinisi boats handcrafted by Sulawesi shipbuilders to modern steel-hull yachts with air-conditioned cabins, en-suite bathrooms, and onboard chefs preparing gourmet Indonesian and international cuisine.
